What is Helium

About me - Steven Gadberry

It has been some time since I've had access to the net enough to allow me to come to Helium. I've missed it. And I intend to start writing again soon. Hope you will all bear with me while I try to get my life in order. The last year has been kind of rough.

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 9 of 428
This is another issue that I have mixed feelings about. The main reason is that I am an adopted child. I was born in early 1967, in Los Angeles, and given what was going on in the country, and that city, at the time, I could very well have ended up never being born. So, it should be obvious to most of you that I might be agai... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should public schools offer courses in the Bible?: 2 of 87
The question of whether public schools should offer courses in the Bible, should not really be a question, at all. Simply put, there is no reason why they should not.I know....many of you will say that the "Separation of Church and State" prohibits public school systems from teaching religion. No matter how many rulings the S... More..
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles Tips for men approaching women online: 1 of 25
The face of dating has changed. It used to be that men had to go to the supermarket, church, or the nearest bar, and hope that he could meet the woman of his dreams there. Or, at the least, one who wanted to go home with him for some fun. Today, there are any number of web sites that make it convenient to meet women online; f... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?: 18 of 312
My question when asked if smoking should be allowed in public places is, "What do you consider a public place?" Since my front yard, if it doesn't have a fence, is open to the public, should I not be allowed to smoke there? Who out there actually thinks they have the right to tell me I can't? If there are any stupid enough to... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values 10 things I hate about the world we live in: 24 of 273
Ooh...such a juicy topic to tackle. The top 10 things I hate about the world we live in are:1. That Money, or those that have it, seem to be the only thing that most of the people in the world respect. Why is it that the accumulation of wealth is so important?2. That universal education is not the norm, but a privilege for th... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Does the press pick presidents?: 3 of 33
No, the press does not pick presidents. Well, not exactly anyway. I will not deny that the press has what many may consider to be too much power, especially during election season.It's been said that no matter what happens during an election, or what the candidates may say in debates, interviews, etc., that 40% of voters will...

Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures The culture of drugs and its devastating effects: 4 of 40
I most certainly will not deny that drugs CAN be devastating. I've seen enough people who were truly addicted to know the kinds of things they will do, and say, to get a hit of their drug of choice.But, one of the reasons that drugs use is an epidemic in this country, and many others, is the way that societies treat their use...

Education > Standardized Tests Should the SAT be abolished for college admissions decisions?: 2 of 20
The S.A.T. is used as a basis for college admission for a reason. Well, actually for several reasons.The first is that is a rather good way to find out if a potential college student has learned some basics of reading, writing and arithmetic during his childhood. Simply put, the questions asked on the S.A.T. don't require a s... More..

Style & Beauty > Perfumes & Fragrances Designer imposters: Are knock-off perfumes just as good as designer perfumes?: 1 of 8
When answering the question, "Are knock-off perfumes just as good as designer perfumes?", it is important to remember just one thing. The only thing about knock-offs is the price. In all other ways, the knock-off is inferior.As someone who once sold knock-off perfumes, I know something of them. And the main difference between... More..
